Billed As: The latest attempt to make people fall back in love with one of Hollywood's most famous sons.

Hype: It may have been more than ten years in the making, but there's no reason to think Warner Bros can't remind us all why we fell in love with Hollywood's first vine-swinging jungle boy, right?

Nostalgia - particularly for family properties - is a big thing right now, and what looks like a terrific cast should buoy this latest Tarzan story, particularly with excellent story-teller David Yates directing.

It might actually be to Warner Bros' advantage that Disney's live action The Jungle Book did so well, given the shared messages of feral children, relationships with animals and the enduring evil of Man. So that might help push it at the box office, somewhat.
